Helping to design the production of tomorrow

As a driver of innovation in mechatronic drive technology, we are also involved in the implementation of Industry 4.0. Our activities are centered around the realization of smart production methods as well as the development of intelligent products, e.g. for mechanical engineering or logistics.

We are advancing the digital transformation of WITTENSTEIN in our Innovation Factory and the Urban Production facility in Fellbach. The goal is a smart factory – with the person as the decision maker at the center of production. Qualified support for the tasks involved in this role will be offered by networked physical and virtual production elements as well as appropriate control systems.

INDUSTRY 4.0: PRODUCTION REDEFINED

INDUSTRY 4.0: PRODUCTION REDEFINED

In the Factory of the Future, people, machines and products are constantly communicating with each other via intelligent systems (CPS = Cyber-Physical-Systems). This allows us to create an almost entirely real-time picture of the current production process.

This will ensure unprecedented transparency. Employees will be able to make decisions and flexibly plan and control production on the basis of up-to-date and reliable data.

Intelligent control also enables quick adaptation of the production process to current requirements. This makes the production of smaller quantities, a wide variety of versions and even custom products much more economical. This will help our customers to maintain a strong lead over the competition in the future also.

COMMITMENT WITH CYPROS

COMMITMENT WITH CYPROS

Cypros (cyber-physical production systems) is regarded as one of the first implementation projects for Industry 4.0., sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

Four research institutions and 16 leading industrial companies, including Siemens, Trumpf and BMW, were involved. WITTENSTEIN was the leader of the consortium and is already implementing prototypes for Industry 4.0 in its Urban Production in Fellbach.

The research project ended in September 2015 with a two-day closing event in front of the gates of the transparent factory where various results were presented. More than a dozen demonstrations and practical examples have been developed and implemented in a real industrial surrounding.
